First glimpse into Little River Canyon as we started biking from the downstream end. Not too dramatic yet...

River with fairly flat water. You can tell it bends against a cliff-like wall in the distance.

Bikes leaned against a sign that says "CLOUDLAND / CHATTANOOGA →"

No sign for the state line, but this road is right on the border.
